< Semtilbu 21 >
1 Pakaiyin ana seisa bang chun Sarah ahung vil in Sarah chunga asuh bulhit peh tai.
And Jehovah hath looked after Sarah as He hath said, and Jehovah doth to Sarah as He hath spoken;
2 Hichun Sarah in nao ahin vop'in, Abraham chu atehset nung in Pathen in atep peh phat don tah in chapa khat ahin pe tan ahi.
and Sarah conceiveth, and beareth a son to Abraham, to his old age, at the appointed time that God hath spoken of with him;
3 Abraham'in achapa chu amin Isaac asah tan ahi.
and Abraham calleth the name of his son who is born to him, whom Sarah hath born to him — Isaac;
4 Chule Isaac pen jou niget alhin nin Abraham'in Pathen thupeh bang in achapa chu chep atan pehtai.
and Abraham circumciseth Isaac his son, [being] a son of eight days, as God hath commanded him.
5 Isaac ahung pen chun, Apa Abraham chu kum jakhat ana lhing tai.
And Abraham [is] a son of a hundred years in Isaac his son being born to him,
6 Chuin Sarah in aphong doh in, “Pathen in nuina eipei,” ati.
and Sarah saith, 'God hath made laughter for me; every one who is hearing laugheth for me.'
7 Chule aman, “Sarah hin chale nao noi hin chep sah inte tin koipen in Abraham kom a ana sei ngam dem? ahin lah keiman atehset nung in chapa khat kahin peh tai,” ati.
She saith also, 'Who hath said to Abraham, Sarah hath suckled sons, that I have born a son for his old age?'
8 Isaac chu ahung khanglen diu in an neh masa pen Abraham'in kipanan kikhop na asem e.
And the lad groweth, and is weaned, and Abraham maketh a great banquet in the day of Isaac's being weaned;
9 Hichun Sarah in jong achapa chu Egypt mi Hagar'in Abraham ahinpeh Ishmael to aki chep lhon chu amudoh tai.
and Sarah seeth the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she hath borne to Abraham, mocking,
10 Hichun amanun Abraham kom ah hitin aseiye, “Hiche sohnu le achapa chu solmang in ajeh chu hiche chapang hin keima chapa toh chanvou anei khom lhon ding aum poi; Isaac toh ki komto thei lou ding ahi.”
and she saith to Abraham, 'Cast out this handmaid and her son; for the son of this handmaid hath no possession with my son — with Isaac.'
11 Hichun Abraham'in nopmo asa lheh jeng in ajeh chu Ishmael jong chu achapa ahiye.
And the thing is very wrong in the eyes of Abraham, for his son's sake;
12 Hinlah Pathen in Abraham chu ahoulimpi in, “Nangman chapang chung chang chule na sohnu jeh in ima lungphat mo na nei hih in, Sarah in bol in atiho chu bol in ajeh chu Isaac akonna bou na chilhah te hung kisim ding bou ahi.”
and God saith unto Abraham, 'Let it not be wrong in thine eyes because of the youth, and because of thy handmaid: all that Sarah saith unto thee — hearken to her voice, for in Isaac is a seed called to thee.
13 Hinlah keiman Hagar chapa jong chu nam lentah khat kaso thou thou ding ahi. Ajeh chu amapa jong chu nangma chapa jong ahi thouve.”
As to the son of the handmaid also, for a nation I set him, because he [is] thy seed.'
14 Hichun Abraham ajing in matah in akithou vin, neh ding bu asutup'in chule twipoh na ding twibom Hagar chu apen aleng kouva aledoh peh tan ahi, hichun amanu le achapa chu asolmang in, chuin Hagar chu suhna ding helouvin Beersheba gamthip noiya avah lelei.
And Abraham riseth early in the morning, and taketh bread, and a bottle of water, and giveth unto Hagar (placing [it] on her shoulder), also the lad, and sendeth her out; and she goeth on, and goeth astray in the wilderness of Beer-Sheba;
15 Hichun twi ahung bei chun amanu (Hagar) chun naosen chu hampa nang boh lim noi ah akoi tai.
and the water is consumed from the bottle, and she placeth the lad under one of the shrubs.
16 Hichun amanu (Hagar) apot doh in atou lha tan achang seh in lamsom tobang kikah in “Keiman hiche chapang thi hi kamu nompoi,” atin amanu chu alhi along in akap tai.
And she goeth and sitteth by herself over-against, afar off, about a bow-shot, for she said, 'Let me not look on the death of the lad;' and she sitteth over-against, and lifteth up her voice, and weepeth.
17 Hinlah Pathen in chapang ka awgin chu ajan chuin Pakai Vantil in vanna kon in Hagar chu ahin kouvin, “Hagar ipi boina nanei ham? Imacha kichatna nei hih in, Pathen in chapang ka awgin chu ajatai aumna muna kon in ati.
And God heareth the voice of the youth; and the messenger of God calleth unto Hagar from the heavens, and saith to her, 'What to thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath hearkened unto the voice of the youth where he [is];
18 Kipat doh inlang nao khu gaki dop loiyin na khut in kipom chah jon, ijeh inem itile keiman ama khu nam lentah ka hisah ding ahi.”
rise, lift up the youth, and lay hold on him with thy hand, for for a great nation I set him.'
19 Hichun Pathen in Hagar mit chu kho amusah in chua twi tamtah amusah tan, hichun amanun gangtah in twipai chu asu dim in chapang chu adon sah tai.
And God openeth her eyes, and she seeth a well of water, and she goeth and filleth the bottle [with] water, and causeth the youth to drink;
20 Chule chapang chu Pathen in ahin umpi jing in neocha ahi apat gamthip gamnoi jenga ahung cheng in, thalpi kap ahung them lheh jeng in ahi.
and God is with the youth, and he groweth, and dwelleth in the wilderness, and is an archer;
21 Chule Ishmael chu Paran gamthip noi a ana cheng in, chule anun Egypt gam'a ama ji ding in numei khat aga pui peh in ahi.
and he dwelleth in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother taketh for him a wife from the land of Egypt.
22 Hiche phat laitah chun Abimelech le asepai jalamkai Phicol chu Abraham vil din ahung'e. “Pathen in nangma hi na umpi jing in, na thilbol na jouse ah na kithopi jinge,” tin ahung seiye.
And it cometh to pass at that time that Abimelech speaketh — Phichol also, head of his host — unto Abraham, saying, 'God [is] with thee in all that thou art doing;
23 Pathen min'in kitem in, chule nei joulhep louhel ding, ka chate jong ahilou leh ka chilhah ho jong, kei vang nangma adia thilpha bolnom jing, chule tuhin naki hahsel ding, thilpha na bol jing ding hiche gam-sunga maljin gampam nahi laisen,” ati.
and now, swear to me by God here: thou dost not lie to me, or to my continuator, or to my successor; according to the kindness which I have done with thee thou dost with me, and with the land in which thou hast sojourned.'
24 Abraham'in adonbut in “Heng'e kaki tem e,” ati.
And Abraham saith, 'I — I do swear.'
25 Hichun Abraham'in Abimelech komma lunglhai louna aphong doh in Abimelech sohten twikul namphu a Abraham sohte ana lah peh'u thu chu ahi.
And Abraham reasoned with Abimelech concerning the matter of a well of water which Abimelech's servants have taken violently away,
26 “Tuchung hi hiche thu kajah masah pen ahi,” tin Abimelech in a donbut'e. “Keiman hiche chungchang hi koi oimo a, koi ngoh ding ham kahepoi. Ajeh chu phat masan ima thu nana sei kha poi,” ati.
and Abimelech saith, 'I have not known who hath done this thing, and even thou didst not declare to me, and I also, I have not heard save to-day.'
27 Abraham'in hichun akelngoi ho, kelcha ho, chule bonghon ho Abimelech apen kinop tona anei lhon'e.
And Abraham taketh sheep and oxen, and giveth to Abimelech, and they make, both of them, a covenant;
28 Hichun Abraham'in kelngoi nou sagi ho chu achom a alheng doh'in ahi.
and Abraham setteth seven Lambs of the flock by themselves.
29 Abimelech in Abraham chu adonbut in “Hiche Kelngoi nou sagi ho hi ipi tina ham? amaho hina tum lhen doh in,” ati.
And Abimelech saith unto Abraham, 'What [are] they — these seven lambs which thou hast set by themselves?'
30 Abraham'in adonbut in, “Hiche twikhuh keiman ka laisa ahi, tia ahetoh aneipan peh na dinga hiche kelngoi pi sagi hi keima khut tah a na kisan ding ahi,” ati.
And he saith, 'For — the seven lambs thou dost accept from my hand, so that it becometh a witness for me that I have digged this well;'
31 Hijeh chun ama in hiche mun chun Beersheba asah tai. Ajeh chu mihem teni akihet tona mun lhon ahiye.
therefore hath he called that place 'Beer-Sheba,' for there have both of them sworn.
32 Beersheba mun a kihet tona muna aki muto jouvin, Abimelech le Phicol sepai lamkai pachu Philistine mun lama akinung le lhon tan ahi.
And they make a covenant in Beer-Sheba, and Abimelech riseth — Phichol also, head of his host — and they turn back unto the land of the Philistines;
33 Abraham'in Beersheba mun achun chahthing phung aphutdoh in, hiche achun aman Pathen chu tonsot Pathen ahi tin aphong doh e.
and [Abraham] planteth a tamarisk in Beer-Sheba, and preacheth there in the name of Jehovah, God age-during;
34 Hichun Abraham chu Phillistine muna chun phat sottah achengin ahi.
and Abraham sojourneth in the land of the Philistines many days.
